Life happens even if you’re not ready with a digital camera to capture it as proof. So why let all of those events escape a spot in your digital media collection of fond memories?

The Mecam is the perfect device to keep up with you and your lifestyle. You can pin the Mecam to your clothing or wear it around your neck like a pendant. It just takes one button click for it to start capturing your daily life, day to night.

The Mecam is a hands-free wearable video camera that can also be set to take 5 MP still photos. It weighs less than 1/4 of a pound, so you can take it with you anywhere, and the simple 3-button operation means it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The Mecam shoots video in 720P HD video and is equipped with proprietary LED Infrared (IR) technology that lets it capture everything. Photos and videos are uploaded to your computer through the USB port.

The Mecam is available in black, white, green, blue, and pink. There are three options for storage capacity: 4 GB saves approximately an hour of video, 8 GB saves two hours, and 16 GB saves four hours.

An inexpensive camera like this would make a terrific gift as a fun toy. The storage capacities available might make capturing a full day of life rather difficult. It would be nice if it had the option to insert a MicroSD card for further expansion. Yet, the Mecam needs just one press of a button to start recording, so quick thinking and good timing should always save your best moments. Plus, it makes it easier to cut and edit the video footage later on.
